P.E.: Pretty Extraordinary

“我的数学是体育老师教的。”——请摘下你的有色眼镜，体育老师不“背锅

YOU cannot judge a book by looking at its cover, and neither can you judge a good class teacher by looking at her degree. That’s what a group of parents and students in Hangzhou has found out this semester.

When they came to school in September, the students 1 (shock) to learn that their class teacher was to be a P.E. teacher. How could a teacher 2 brain was just a big muscle help them improve their studies? How could someone who teaches badminton and basketball know anything about academics? Their parents were equally horrified and pressured the school 3 (replace) “Miss Muscle” with a “Miss Brain.” However, the principal did not give in 4 the pressure and now the parents and students are happy that the school firmly insisted.

After three months, “Miss Muscle,” whose name is actually Miss Su, has turned out to be a wonderful class teacher. She is intelligent, kind and helpful. She is a good leader who keeps her students 5 (motivate) in their studies and involved in school activities. And she has won the parents over with her genuine concern for their children. In other words, Miss Su, the P.E. teacher, is “pretty extraordinary.”

The initial negative 6 (react) against Miss Su is an example of bias (偏见). A “bias” is an error in thinking that affects a person’s opinions and decisions. Similarly, women have a difficult time 7 (climb) the career ladder (职位晋升的阶梯) because their bosses (mostly men!) think that women lack leadership skills and the necessary toughness to make difficult decisions. Neither of these opinions is based 8 facts or the talents of the individual. They’re just bias.

We are all biased in one way or another. We get them from our upbringing (家教), the media and even our education, but with a little effort, we can overcome our bias. The first thing to do is recognize that we have a bias. Then we should examine 9 (we) opinions and judgments to see if they are really based on facts. In the case of Miss Su, the parents and students let their bias about P.E. teachers cloud (蒙蔽) their judgment and, 10 (initial) at least, refused to see her talent and good character. Fortunately, they managed to correct their bias and now have a pretty extraordinary class teacher. And that’s my honest unbiased opinion.

你不能通过看书的封面来判断一本书，也不能通过看书的程度来判断一个好班级老师。这就是杭州的一群家长和学生在本学期发现的。

当他们在9月份上学时，学生震惊地得知他们的班主任要当体育老师。老师。大脑只是一块大肌肉的老师如何帮助他们改善学业？教羽毛球和篮球的人怎么对学者有所了解？他们的父母同样感到恐惧，并向学校施加压力，要求将“肌肉小姐”替换为“大脑小姐”。但是，校长并没有屈服于压力，现在，父母和学生对学校的坚决要求感到高兴。

三个月后，实际上叫苏小姐的“肌肉小姐”成为了一位了不起的班主任。她很聪明，善良，乐于助人。她是一个很好的领导者，可以使她的学生有学习的积极性并参与学校活动。她以对子女的真正关心赢得了父母的青睐。换句话说，苏小姐老师，“非常非凡”。

对苏小姐的最初负面反应就是偏见的一个例子。 “偏见”是一种思维错误，会影响一个人的观点和决定。例如，在企业中，高个子男人更有可能成为老板。在美国，身高190厘米以上的任何人都可以期望比矮个子的同事有更高的薪水和更多的升职机会。同样，女性在爬上职业阶梯时也遇到困难，因为老板（大多数是男性！）认为女性缺乏领导才能和做出艰难决定所必需的韧性。这些观点都不基于事实或个人的才能。他们只是偏见。

我们所有人都以一种或另一种方式有偏见。我们是从家庭教养，媒体乃至我们的教育中获得这些知识的，但是只要付出一点努力，我们就可以克服我们的偏见。首先要做的是认识到我们有偏见。然后，我们应该检查我们的意见和判断，看看它们是否真的基于事实。在苏小姐的情况下，父母和学生都对体育课产生了偏见。老师蒙蔽了他们的判断力，至少在最初，他们拒绝看到她的才华和良好品格。幸运的是，他们设法纠正了自己的偏见，现在有了一位非常出色的班主任。这就是我诚实的公正看法。
